SHGames is working on a fix for the map exploits in Advanced Warfare

Sledgehammer Games has tweeted to users stating that the team is aware and working on a fix for the map exploits in Advanced Warfare. Certain maps, mainly Horizon, have a glitch where players are able to get to certain places where they are unable to be killed.

@DeadSpaceCowboy Thanks, we're taking care of this map glitch. You can also report this person in game for exploiting.

Sledgehammer Games has stated that users should use the in-game reporting tool to report users that are abusing this glitch, as they will be banned. Checkout our article here for details on how to report users.

There’s no timeframe yet on when the update with these fixes will be released. Stay tuned.

Hope they also fix that glitch on Bio Lab also. But it’s fun to troll those people just by blocking their way 🙂

Acadius Alexander

Agreed.

UndeadMurderer

The Lag Compensation is REAL in this game (Not to be confused with Lag you can SEE)… but at least their trying I guess.

HotHam

Lag comp is real in every multiplayer game.

UndeadMurderer

No its not, the reason it even exist is to ‘help’ those with slower connections…its a relic from the early days of online gaming! In AW (And BO2) the lag comp is ‘OVER’ compensating the connection. An example is when you shoot someone and hes running and you drop dead, but on the killcam hes been shooting you for awhile.

Shut up and fuck off

Rodoe528

Finally I’m tired of getting killed by glitchers who have no lives and just camp and kill. I think they should have their stats reset

you cant shoot them through the glass door, but you can through the wall on the outside.

Mike

I kept killing the same dude over and over again by doing this in FFA. He must be the dumbest player ever. Kept going in here, so I just waited for him to go in there, and then killed him. I don’t think he once clicked onto how i was killing him ( i presume he didn’t watch the kill cams)

Good, it pisses me off when I get killed by someone in that wall breach on Horizon.

Run N Gunning Camper

I joined a TDM game in progress and got killed by two guys glitching in that elevator. I promptly left the game.

jordanxbrookes

Whenever I come across someone in that glitch, I simply don’t go near there and win myself the match.

jojojo

you can also easily kill them by shooting through the wall behind them from outside

Run N Gunning Camper

The match was already lost when I joined with the glitcher’s team ahead by 20 kills in TDM.

zombiefreak935

Hard to do when you have a noob team running right at them. Do not get me started on objective game modes in this game.

jordanxbrookes

Not really since I play FFA, hence why I win myself the match.

zombiefreak935

Oh.

zombiefreak935

Hopefully this comes out soon.

TehShadewRaeper

All I ask is they take away skill based match-making….its destroying this game lag wise

ottomanelite

Your telling me

ccrows

Remove the SBMM, and I’ll buy the Season Pass.

Leave SBMM in, and it would be a waste for me to buy the DLC since SBMM is chasing more and more people away… 🙁

Bob

I honestly haven’t noticed SBMM, if it’s really there, does that mean no facing Christmas noobs?!

ccrows

NO it’s defiantly there, & there are enough videos on YT about it.

YT aside, I lost track of how many times I would be in a Newb (yes newb not noob) lobby and then right before the match starts I get kicked out.

^ Bo2 did that exact same BS when it ran SBMM until Treyarch finally removed it.

So yeah we are stuck with this SH matching skill instead of connection which = laggier lobbies. SBMM NEEDS TO GO!…

ccrows

FFS if I see another “4192 Error message” after waiting for a lobby (and then getting kicked), I’m gonna F***ing lose it!…

spartanelite

How long did it take treyarch to remove it?

zombiefreak935

Christmas noobs will face each other.

zombiefreak935

If they don’t fix it…

CGkillZ

Is this why in most games I break even. But in every other cod I’ve always had a 1.5 kd. But everybody that are in my matches always end up around even

Siftblade of Rivia

BO2 I had a 0.96 KD (never reset, I was a noob at launch). I have a 1.28 KD in AW 😛

CGkillZ

I had a 2.02 in bo2. But then went down to a 1.47 when I only played league play. Ghost had a 1.6 and in bo1 which I loved I had a 2.31. Aw seems to have people at your skill level. I will say that the sac3 is badass lol. In search oh that gun will kick ass.

awlagfare

damn u are a camper. i got a 1.01 k/d but atleast i enjoy the game. u prob are 1 of those annoying people who ends the domi game with 10-1 without captures

CGkillZ

Nope I I mostly go after flags. Just am decent at the game

ccrows

Yup.

You are faced with people of equal skill.

BUT THE REAL KICK IN THE HEAD is that since they are match making by “skill” and NOT by “similiar connection”, that leads to more inconsistent lag lobbies…

CGkillZ

Yes that’s what I was thinking. Keep the skill based matchmaking to ranked playlist. Which I’ll be playing all the time when this game is fixed.

zombiefreak935

Tweet to them about it.

ottomanelite

Fucking fix the game freeze which leads to consel freeze I get furious when I level up and the the whole game freezes wtf sledgehammer wow high moon did a grade a job man

JoZer805g

I get the same problem but all my console doesn’t freeze at all, I just go back to the Homescreen and close game.

Stefan Lang

Remove skill based matchmaking and this game is gold.

Run N Gunning Camper

It looks like they toned down SBMM. I’m now playing with people who uses my city as their clan tag. It could be a lucky game but it looks promising. That means I’m now getting matched by connection.

JoZer805g

Same here, I see people using the area code where I live at.

Run N Gunning Camper

I just hope it will remain like this. I’m afraid those people from rural areas will start complaining.

simonb1471 .

If you live in a rural area it will suck but most people dont

Bob

LIVE ON TEH FARM

ccrows

It’s not toned down, you just got lucky to find people of similar skill in your area.

When SBMM goes away, it will be all over Youtube.

^ There’s people on Youtube that are keeping an eye on this, SBMM is still in full effect, AND IT NEEDS TO GO!

PLEASE STAY VOCAL ON GETTING RID OF SBMM PEOPLE!…

zombiefreak935

NO there are people on youtube keeping an eye on charlieintel,not the game.

Mr Doge

For some reason on 360 it always find Level 1-20 when Im already Presige 1 Level 45. And they are in my area. Would be as funny as fuck if the old consoles couldn’t run SDMM.

zombiefreak935

I don’t think they have it, but last gen is gonna lag anyways.

Stefan Lang

Lol, it doesnt matter what generation the console is on. The servers are just crappy for everyone.

Dr. Salim

I ran into this camo glitch. before the update, I had 13hip fire kills before the update. which is enough to get muiltcam camo now but, now it’s still locked and it says I have 15/10 kills needed.

PatPatPat

Get one more hip-fire and it should be updated.

TheShadowReaper

if you get even 1 more of what you need it unlocks as it would have.

Dr. Salim

no it doesn’t a I had 13 kills when the glitch started but now, I have 15 and nothing has happened.

TheShadowReaper

that’s some bullshit. i had the same problem with an unlock but it resolved right after i did one more in the counter. had like 15/10 longshots in my Bal-27 and it unlocked right after i did the 16th one. i suggest you contact ATVI support and ask them about it and how you can resolve it. https://support.activision.com/

zombiefreak935

Get 1 more and it will unlock.

Ryumoau

good. Thats pretty lame for people to be using exploits to cheat instead of winning on their own skill.

lol this game is so bad, pathetic for a three year development period.

jordanxbrookes

It’s not bad, just has issues.

Rodoe528

It will get better with patches over time

Juses

Sledegehammer needs to take out SBMM and needs weapon balancing because this game is unbearable to play. This game is fun but it’s so fustrating shooting a guy first then getting killed from 2 bullets from the enemy. I only have 14 hours played compared to the 2-3 days i usually have played by this time 🙁

Mr codman1976

I feel you’re pain and 100% agreeeee

simonb1471 .

I say this every day pal check out my channel on youtube “simonb1471”

reamerb .

Hit markers are bad. shot a guy in the head!! only to be then dropped with two bullets

TheShadowReaper

not every weapon has a 1.5 headshot multiplier. some of them have 1.1 for the sake of balancing.

zombiefreak935

Headshots don’t give you as much bonus damage,not sure what the exact number is.

zombiefreak935

frustrating*

TheCervixPounder69

Is there a way to set my matchmaking preferences to find games with better connection over quicker finds? This used to be present in every other COD since, like, MW3. Im playing on XBOX One and the lag for me is unreal

There isn’t, but there should be. SHG games spent all their extra time on making Kevin Spacey’s face look better, so they totally forgot to polish the multiplayer. It’s missing basic functions, and no one decided to see what prestiging does for leaderboards… Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game anyways, but these issues are frustrating

simonb1471 .

ay this every day pal check out my channel on youtube “simonb1471”

zombiefreak935

One of the best things about BO2.

FATHEAD661

Report! Report! Report! I cannot stress enough how much we need to report these players that exploit the weaknesses in the game. Just because it’s there doesn’t mean they should get away with it. It’s 100% cheating in my book!

ccrows

I’ve reporting them, but even with the wall hackers, SBMM is STILL the “bigger issue” that needs to be fixed!…

zombiefreak935

They both need to be fixed asap.

Hazza HzD

On 360 the update has been out but the camo challenges haven’t changed

KernosT

360 lol.The game on previous gen is a joke,High moon did a pretty bad job tbh.Time to upgrade I guess.

Kyoshilonehearted

Yep, had this same one happen in a game I was in. Some guy was glitched through the glass and could not be killed but he could still shoot through. Honestly, why the hell would anyone pay $60 for a game just to go online and cheat? If you want to be stupid and do that, do it in a private game, not publicly. If you are that brain dead, you deserve to be completely banned. If you cheat like that you should be banned anyways.

Also, I reported that guy for cheating, but I guess I should report it as an exploit next time.

zombiefreak935

Wonder if the reporting in this game does crap,last 2 games it didn’t.

Bus Creep

remove SKILL BASED MATCH MAKING, Treyarch already tried that and removed it, isn’t that what league play is for? to play with people around you skill level.

J4MES

Exactly. The core playlists should just be matchmaking tailored to your locale against players of all abilities. It will streamline servers and reduce algorithmic stress. It was a stupid implementation and why they felt the need to include it after all the past bravado is just a calamitous oversight of stupidity. It’s a great game but the technical execution is laughable.

More and more people are hitting “Glen Schofield” and “SH” about lag and SBMM on Twitter.

Keep pounding away at them to get rid of SBMM guys!…

Tayler Hammond

Because so many people complained that there was no skill based matchmaking. And now there is, and people want to back to the way it was.

J4MES

Nobody has wanted SBM in COD for years. Theoretically it’s a good idea for more streamlined lobbies but the way it was implemented in the likes of BO2 was terrible hence why it was removed. Nobody knows why SHG have included it again in the franchise and nobody wanted it when the game was in development. The community knows how bad the connections are when SBM is implemented and the server stress on algorithms and locale just causes no end of issues. We don’t even need such a feature with League Play now anyway.

Yes, and so when everyone sees it, SH will too. And then they will patch it.

DopeAap

I wonder if they’ll pull a ghosts where they made the glitch even more accesible instead of fixing/removing it

Juses

That happend in ghosts? I don’t remember that 😛

Siftblade of Rivia

Yeah, at launch there was a glitch where people can get on a tree on that jungle map. When they patched the game they added like 3 more spots to hide in trees, lol.

zombiefreak935

When?

hunter

Idk about you guys but ever since the update yesterday. I’ve been getting a constand 4 connection with no problems what so ever. I’ve also been getting paired up in lobbys that weren’t so frustrating as before. Maybe they toned down SBMM? Idk, but I can finally enjoy this game now.

Dan Marsh

I was thinking the same thing last night when I wasn’t going negative all the time! (PS4)

hunter

For real man. I feel bad for some people who keep saying their connection is bad even after the update. Luckily were not one of them haha. First match I had after the update I went 18 an 6. I was mind blown because before that I could never do that with the constant drops in connection.

Guest

More like 4 connection with problems for me.

hunter

That sucks man. I haven’t had any problems at all since the update. I’m on ps4. Wbu?

Guywithbrains

One does not simply play in Instinct without getting merciless with MORS.

zombiefreak935

Second most op sniper ever, right next to dsr. More balanced though.

Siftblade of Rivia

I got my first Merciless in AW today. Weird, I usually go something like 40-20 or 30-15 with a 2 KD each game but I was never able to get a merciless in the game. I also got a merciless every other game in BO2 so idk what’s up. It wasn’t even a gun streak, I got it with an AI controlled Warbird from a care package, lol.

Hey man. Can I add you on PSN since I really want to play that zombie round with you! Thanks!

PSN: Kralamoonard

Cheers.

Siftblade of Rivia

Yeah, will do. I actually like survival more than I thought I would and got pretty good at it 😛

Juses

How does this game have more glitchs and problems than any other cod at launch if there’s a 3 year developme cycle now? It makes no sense.

Guywithbrains

Better technology comes with bigger problems.

Juses

They had 3 years and I’m pretty sure the 3rd year was just to polish the game. There’s no reason these so much balancing issues and glitches.

Guywithbrains

Maybe they used more time to balancing weapons. I think there are balanced guns much more than in previous games but I have to agree BAL-27 was maybe a little bit overpowered. Now it feels like it has been fixed.

But who knows how they used their time. Maybe they had to do quickly surprise gamemode (Zombies) that people cried about?

Juses

All the smgs are underpowered at close range and always lose to assult rifles. The atlas 45 kills faster than the mk14 and the mk14 doesn’t even have the highest range for a assult rifle. The tac 19 is terrible and you can get 2 hit markers with it at close range. The s12 takes a full clip to kills someone and bullets go throughs the riot shield. Is that balanced to you?

But I still think that they have done more balancing than previous titles.

zombiefreak935

s12 took 2 clips to take someone out at close range.

zombiefreak935

I know.

meow

because for most unbroken games it takes devs an extra 2-3 years to fix, balance and polish everything they can. this is why CoD will always seem like a broken game :/

Charlie

mw2 was more broken than any other cod. At least they are working on it. Games have bugs, it will always happen. The more important part is that they are acknowledging the problem and fixing it promptly.

Once they fix the little bugs, fix matchmaking, and some minor weapon balancing, this game will be th best Cod for me since Cod4.

J4MES

The bulk of connection issues are down to the technical infrastructure and SBM which was a terrible decision to include. The lies about dedicated servers also harms the devs credibility. The general glitches are pretty inexcusable and are a horrific developer oversight in some instances. I expect better these days from this franchise regardless of it being SHG’s first game. Other games are also suffering disastrous launches; DriveClub, Unity, Halo MCC etc.. – the industry is a joke at the minute in terms of quality control and rigorous Q&A testing. It is an insult to all the people that have invested in these consoles as the developers can’t even get the basics right. This ‘ship now, patch later’ culture as to stop and more regulations are needed for an improved experience from day one for the consumer.

KernosT

They are working on all the issues,its a massive game.The Dev’s can never spot each and every glitch in the coding.So give them a breakk.And as for SBMM and Dedicated servers,its all on Activsion.And as you know After Ubisoft and EA ATVI are the biggest cunts in the industry

Halo MCC servers are broken to buggery and most can’t even get a game. The average wait time for a match has gone down from 3 hours to 30 minutes but that’s still awful. Hopefully it’ll be fixed by end of the month as 343 are patching the game like mad but it’s been another terrible launch. Even Gamespot had no choice but to give it just 6/10 and from my experience; that’s generous!

ScOott

Jeeze and the cod community thought they got it bad, least u can get into a game.. I wasn’t planning on getting into multiplayer anyway just buying it for story seen as everyone seems to rave about it.. Shame about unity could of been the best ac yet, still I bet that ain’t bad offline

MrGladiator20

Fix the solar glitch. It’s very hard to kill people out of and they have a much larger LoS

AW

Maybe yall should have some fun playing the game instead of freakin complain ing all day gets so boring reading people’s comments wining over the same things every day the game is good just be a better/smarter player then you won’t mind a gun beeing a bit overpowered and they’ll fix alot of things im sure

Juses

No, that makes no sense at all. If we don’t complain about a game having so many problems at launch devs will think it’s ok to ship a broken game (which many already do)

AW

ok you’re right there but id find it better if people would give some helpful criticism instead of saying it’s a broken unplayable game which it obviously isn’t. If advanced warfare was the first cod ever NO ONE would be complaining because it is a great game.

simonb1471 .

Shut up you massive fan boy this game has more problems then any other cod at release yet they had 3 whole years to make it sometimes people just need a punch to the face.

AW

Ok so im no fanboy but i love cod with how many other games do you guys spend 2+ days playing?? compared to other cod s ive had the most fun within in the first weeks since bo 1 and yea lag has been in every cod game and compared to others there ain’t much of it

J4MES

We have a right to complain. Don’t be a mug to the gaming industry especially COD. AW is a good game but it’s exceptionally riddled with issues that need to be addressed. Complaining gets the job done and sends a message loud and clear to the devs that such problems wont be tolerated and there isn’t much fun to be had with a inconsistent experience. If you think the likes of Halo MCC, DriveClub, Unity and AW are acceptable in this day and age; you’re a fool.

I just found it from main menu after completing story. You have to go to “intel” and there you’ll find “Democracy”.

PatPatPat

oh. shit i don’t check that.

Stefan Lang

SBMM is alive and well in this game peeps. Today I used the 2 day trial on a second acc. and I went in and camped for a 5 kd which I earned. Next game I get a fucking full 6 man team and prestiged players when Im only ranked 6 at this point. Get stomped and the KD drops negative. They really need to remove it, it’ll make connection a lot better and a more fun experience for everyone.

smayo

I dont know how i done it, but i have now a class where i selected 2 tier 3 perks without having the perk 3 greed selected.

There was a silent update and it most have cause your class to bug. Last night before going to bed I check my camo progress with the guns I’m using. Just got online, check my progress of camo again and I see this unlock…

Has far I’m aware, there MOST have been a silent update; I didn’t had my Diamond camo unlock last night…

Ben

If the next week doesn’t have any news on the removal of SBMM, i’m selling the game… its not fun when the connection is so bad.

Ben

SBMM isn’t even putting me against people the same skill as me… they’re better than me and i’m not even afraid to admit it!

PatPatPat

Am i the only one who earns things ive already earned in supply drops? i have 2 KVA Scout shirts and 2 Nigerian police helmets (among doubles of lots of other things)

You know when you don’t see THAT car in GTA for ages, and then you see 10 drive past in a row?

Supply Drops are similar. Once I unlock something, I’ll unlock like three more of them!

MrAngry

Just played 5 games today after having a break over the weekend and it seems worse than ever. I was at least a second behind the host most of the time despite the game running smooth. With all the other issues surrounding challenges not working and now maps that are glitched to hell; I am growing sick of Advanced Warfare and it hasn’t even been out a month yet. If Sledgehammer don’t make radical changes by the end of November; I can see people throwing in the towel. It’s a pretty good game underneath but everything else is just infuriating to the extent, people are now abandoning the game. With Far Cry 4, GTA 5 and DA:I out tomorrow plus Halo MCC and BF4 Final Stand in action; I can’t see many people sticking with AW. Sledgehammer need to come out and admit they screwed up so much and let the community know that they are willing to overhaul the matchmaking. If they don’t do this; come Christmas; this game will be as dead as Ghosts. The latter was shite but at least you could play it properly. Sledgehammer have two weeks to save themselves and the game else they’ll be out the door even before Infinity Ward.

Tricky VIk

“This is why we need betas, feedback people, feedback.”

luis

its not.right to report people for the game creators mistake lol im gonna continue to use the glitch to cause if I get banned for something I paid for im suing microsoft and activision xD if you think about it the game creators should have tested better then this would have never happened

Players should not be punished for a game makers mistakes. As the Call of Duty and Battlefield Franchises have had problems you should test your games 100% before your release. It’s not our fault you fail to make games bug free upon release.

XXL F4TBOY

What glitches? LMFAO!!!!

XXL F4TBOY

I’ll post this again its not the players fault. GAME DEVELOPERS need to be blamed. Don’t ban the players.

kyle

Please patch the retreat map as people going on the roof tops and spawn tramping making my experience of playing the game not worth while thanks

FUPC DeathScyth

honestly u guys did a patch of a bunch of the maps why is the one in deffender stil there it was didcovered at the same time banning people right away kind of excessive send them a message warning them before u ban to let them know ur serious about it
